Jet Setting With Me is a luxury travel podcast about set-jetting — the destinations we see on screen and can't stop thinking about — and how a working travel advisor turns those daydreams into trips that hold up under real scrutiny. Hosted by Michele Schwartz, founder of the Jet Setting With Me travel design agency and a Certified Travel Associate (CTA), the show explores set-jetting as a discipline rather than a trend: the work of designing itineraries around the films, shows, and series shaping where people want to go next. Episodes cover luxury travel design, cruise destinations (both ocean and river), theme park travel, and multigenerational and group travel — pairing the behind-the-scenes of a location with the operational reality of building a trip there. What to expect, what to skip, what most travelers miss, and the small editorial choices that separate a thoughtfully designed itinerary from one that's been assembled out of a brochure. Most episodes are solo. The occasional guest joins when the conversation calls for it. Michele has spent 35 years in hospitality — beginning at the front desk of Walt Disney World resorts across all three tiers, then through event planning and the weddings industry, and now into custom travel design for clients who want their trips designed rather than packaged. That operational background runs through every episode, and it's the part most travel podcasts don't have. Follow @jetsettingwithmichele on Instagram.

    Some of the best opportunities in luxury travel never make it to Google, because they are designed to be shared through relationships, not advertised to the masses.
